<h1>Application<a class="headerlink" href="#application" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>You can create a new application in an organization through the Admin
portal. The Admin portal creates the new application by issuing a post
against the management endpoint (see the <a class="reference external" href="../orgs-and-apps/application.html#creating-an-application">Creating an
Application</a>
section in Organization for details). If you need to create an
application programmatically in your app, you can also use the API to do
this. You can access application entities using your app name or UUID,
prefixed with the organization name or UUID:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>https://api.usergrid.com/{org_name|uuid}/{app_name|uuid}
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Most mobile apps never access the application entity directly. For
example you might have a server-side web app that accesses the
application entity for configuration purposes. If you want to access
your application entity programmatically, you can use the API.</p>
<div class="section" id="creating-an-application">
<h2>Creating an application<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-an-application" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

authentication credentials.</p>

<h2>Deleting and restoring Applications<a class="headerlink" href="#deleting-and-restoring-applications" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Usergrid allows you to clean-up your Organizations by deleting old
Applications that you no longer need. With this feature, Applications
are not really deleted but they are hidden from view and may be restored
later. (At some point in the future, Usergrid may get the ability to
completely obliterate an Application, but that ability does not exist at
the time of this writing.)</p>
<div class="section" id="delete-application-request-uri">
<h3>Delete Application: Request URI<a class="headerlink" href="#delete-application-request-uri" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Only an authenticated Admin User can delete and restore Applications. To
delete an application, you send an authenticated HTTP <strong>DELETE</strong> request
to the /management end-point. The Request URI must specify the
Organization and the Application, both by identifier (name or UUID).
Here is the Request URI pattern:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>/management/organizations|orgs/{org_name}|{uuid}/applications|apps/{app_name}
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Parameters</p>
<p>This is intentionally redundant, but you must confirm that you really
want to delete the Application by specifying its name or UUID, same as
that which you used in the Request URI.</p>

<h3>Application Delete and Restore Limitations<a class="headerlink" href="#application-delete-and-restore-limitations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>At the time of this writing there are a couple of limitations regarding
Application Delete and Restore:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Within an Organization, you cannot delete an Application with the
same name as an Application that you have deleted before.</li>
<li>Within an Organization, you cannot restore an Application is an
application with the very same name has been added since the orginal
one was deleted.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hopefully, these unnecessary limitations will be fixed soon; they are
tracked by this JIRA issue
